It's q peculiar thing that there are so
few fat villains in history or man
Now, 1 can't remember one except Fosco,
in the Woman in White" People take
their ideas of character from the physioG-
nomy and physique Of certain characters,
historical or imaginary, and as Shake
speare pictures jovial Jack Falstaff as fat,
so every Fat mar is ~prejudged as a good
natured, rollicking blade. with no guile
in him. All villains I've seer on the
stage have been thin, but / aver that a
man may be fat and be q villain. AL
stage lawyers are generally represented
as lean, clammy and cadaverous, yet only
tho poor lawyers are thus. Any man
who walks with an erect carriage and
expanded chest is put down at sight by
the general run Of people as proud and
egotistic, but there's just as much ego
tism in little, dumpy men. IEnow poets
who don't wear long hair, and preachers
who don't wear long faces. People have
formed their ideals of certain phases of
character and appearance from early i'm
pressions of individuals who had, or were
supposed to have, the character, and they
never changed it. 1 insist that all con.
spirators are not lean, like Guy Fawkes.
and that the public should be warned not
to put too much faith in these old beliefs,
az fot c~onspirators are dangerous from
tho very freedom from suspicion which
they enjoy. Globe Democrat.

To the Editor of The Leader.
CHEYENNE, June l6.-In "a Cycle
Suggestion" which appeared in THE
LEADER Yesterday, the writer thinks it
would be a good idea to compel Cheyenne
wheelmen to carry bells during the day
and lamps at night. If the suggestion
came from a wheelman he was certainly
either a very youthful one or an amateur.
Alter five years experience aboard the
wheel your subscriber thinks the D p
site result from the one brought forward
would be attained. No gentleman who
has ever had a years growth frightened
out Of him bv-a bicycle bell will be able to
see much utility in compelling wheelmen
to ring a bell when in proximity to pedes

THE Boomerang IN commenting on the
fact that the members OF the Laramie and
Cheyenne clubs will compete for "a cup at
the coming fair in this city suggests the
formation of an Albany county association
when the cup might be alternately raced
TOR here aud there. So far as the latter
proposition is concerned it may be re-
marked hat the cup will be offered by
the Wyoming Fair Association aud not by
the clubs, and the competitors are limited
to clubmen Of Laramie, Denver and Chey-
eune, which will, of course, render the
BoOmerdng's suggestion impracticable.

"PINAFoRE'' has been revived under
remarkable circumstances at the Madison
Square garden ia New York. The vast
locality has been turned into a theater,
and at one end Of the garden, nnconcealed
by curtain or any theatrical parapherualiu,
is a tremendous ship with torecastle, lower
deck and poop, and as similar as it eau be
made to u real uan Of war. During the
performance OF the opera thirty sailors
furl sails and 10 about their usual avoca
tions while $50 people in the chorus are
chanting the well known melodies OF
the opera. The sisters, the cousins and
the aunts arrive in small boats and go up
the side of the ship us described in the
lIbretto, and the whole action takes place
on the 5000 square feet OF timber that
forms the deck OF the ship. thai floats in
real water. There are no behind the
scenes, for the crew, when they get
through their choruses and business will
retire TO their quarters in the furecastle.
and the action will continue ON the poop
deck. No such novelty has been seen III
New York before.

Oliver Wendell Holmes gives the At
lantic n very interesting account of n visit
which he paid to Tennyson. He says
that he saw the poet to the best advantage
under his own trees and walking over Ills
own domain. II am sorry" he writes,
THAT l did not ask Tennyson 70 read or
repeat some of his own lines TO me.
Hardly any n perfectly understands a
poem but the poet himself" Others
who have heard the poet laureate repeat
his own verses say that he does so in a
sort of rhythmical chant, his voice main
tanning 4 full, rich monotone. and seldom
rising very much. In later years he has
rid himself of the inharmonious failing

THE Omaha Republican contains a sen
%sational story to the effect that railroad
circles in cities where the Union Pacific
railway touches are excited over the dis
closure OF an alleged conspiracy among
the Union Pacific railway employees to rob
the company. These rubberies are alleged
to have taken PLACE at different points ON
the line as far west as Cheyenne. Last
winter an Omaha detective agency was
called upon and a man sent to Cheyenne,
who, after six weeks patienr labor, ran
down and secured the discharge of a
number Of conductors who had been en-
gagged in rUbbing the company. No ar
rests were made at the time, aud the
company kept the matter concealed. The
rubberies became more frequent, how
ever, and the most sklllful detectives have
not enabled them to locate the conspira
tors. For the past six weeks the com
pany in Nebraska has been u sufferer to a
large amounG, and the company have re
newed their efforts to probe the matter to
the bottom. The Omaha Bee, after an
investigation, %pronounces the story the
most unmitigated rot.

GREAT LAKE MONSTER.
A Huge e'Amphibious Animal Seen on
the Beach of Lake Erie.

TOLEDO. o., May 19.-There was great
excitement among the French inhabitants
along the lake shore in Ottawa county
over the reported discovery of marine
monster by two French fishermen named
Dusseau. The brothers were returning
from the fishing grounds late last night,
when they noticed a monster on the
sandy beach of Lake Erie. They fast.
ened their boat, and upon examining the
monster found it to be an inn
mcnse fish between twenty and thirty
feet in length. 1t was shaped like a
sturgeon, but had arms which were
thrown wildly into the air. The fisher
men say the light must have been caused
by phosphorescence emitted IN It's death
struggles. They hurried away for ropes
and ald but when they returned the SUBJ
marine monster had evidently thrown
itself into the lake IN Its dying struggles
and been carried away by the waves. No
trace of the animal could be found save
half dozen scales as large as silver dol
lars. Tracks on the beach where it was
discovered made it perfectly plain that
the lake serpcut was of great size. and it
was undoubtedly in its death struggles
when first seen.

Embarrassing q StenoRrapher.

Globe Democrat: One of the most en-
barrassing things court stenographer
can be subjected to sometimes is to be
suddenly asked to read lot OF cross
questioned testimony over which there
has arisen dispute, and the answers
and questions of which, together with
the interjected remarks of wrangling
counsel, have been taken down with
lightning speed. Under such circum-
stances ones writing is little more than
quickly at a moments notice is by no
means easy. The most important thing
in this, as in all kinds of reporting, is to
keep a cool and collected head. / have
seen some pitiable cases of tirst-class
stenographers who were so ratified on
being ask to read what they had written,
that the request had to be withdrawn out
of charity 10 them.
